hollo, I do like that heat pipe idea. Maybe when I'm done with the initial testing, I'll give it a shot. I think maybe soldering it the base rather than thermal epoxy


Jorlen, are you saying that if you heat a heat pipe above its maximum wattage it will

1. completely stop transfering heat except for it's outer shell

or

2. keeps transfering its maximum wattage and the excess heat must travel through the outer shell
